I am successfully using the insertHTML webskin with TinyMCE, however, to associate objects via aObjectIDs for the TinyMCE to grab, I need to populate the aObjectsIDs array (associated media) then save the entry, go back into the entry and then I am able to "pick from my list".

Is there an ajax-y way to associate a file or image with an entry, and then go right to the TinyMCE body and pop it in?

This was likely introduced in a tinyMCE upgrade. It only impacts embedding file links into a "rich text" area which many people do not do; relying instead on the view to render associated files. Also there is a readily available workaround; reload the edit handler (save/re-edit, move between wizard steps, etc). Of course! fix it and submit a pull request pay for it to be fixed (Daemon can certainly assist here) hope that the bug impacts another user enough that they do one of the abov…

The TinyMCE plugin that handles this can be found in core in thecore/webtop/thirdparty/tiny_mce/plugins/farcrycontenttemplates directory,which interacts with /webtop/facade/tinyMCE.cfc. A similar issue was fixedin the image_farcry TinyMCE plugin, which was to include the current valueof the array (retrieved from the hidden field) and pass that into the ajaxrequest. The fix for this would be the same.

TinyMCE caches the plugin JS fairly aggressively and it's hard to refresh since it's in an iframe. The easiest way around that would be to open Developer Tools in Chrome, go to the Network tab, and check "Disable cache";
